Martin Katz's Favorite Celebrity Moments

2. Minnie Driver - 1998 Oscars

“Minnie holds a fond place in my heart because the ruby bead bracelet I loaned her broke and she spent a good amount of the evening on her hands and knees trying to pick up all of the ruby beads," he said. "And James Cameron was helping her! It is still one of my favorite stories.”

5. Claire Danes - 2010 Emmy Awards

“I’d like to believe that the $2 million pink diamond Claire wore was her good luck charm when she won the Emmy," he said. "Watching her on the stage in my jewelry and her gorgeous Armani Prive gown was truly a golden moment.”

6. Sofia Vergara - 2012 April InStyle Cover

"Sofia wore some of my favorite Paraiba Tourmaline pieces for the Color Issue. I have been collecting these stones for over a decade and finally started designing the pieces, which are very rare and brilliantly colorful. They really popped off the page."
